I remember having a conversation with a young woman whose husband's mother had recently died. He went to a psychiatrist because he was feeling "sad", and he was given anti-depressants to help him. I recall thinking that, aren't you supposed to be sad when one of your parents die?
I thought, too, when kids from the subsidized housing areas in town started being labelled as "depressed", that a kid from the projects who can't afford a lot of gee whiz stuff other kids have and doesn't have the best family/living arrangements should be a little bummed from time to time.
That's the incentive to bust your keester to better your lot, but instead they're medicated.
What they need is some advice--study, work hard, and get out of the crab basket.You'll feel better when you do better.
